Planning a wilderness canoe trip is easy when you use one of northeastern Minnesota’s Gunflint Trail outfitters. Whether you choose to paddle and portage through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCAW) or Quetico’s Provincial Park (or both), everything you need for a successful vacation on the water can be found right here. Every outfitter offers expert help, a wealth of experience, friendly service, lightweight watercraft (including kayaks), specialized gear and food, and accommodations (including cabins and bunkhouses) — we make planning a canoe trip easy, and taking one an experience of a lifetime.

Explore new territory or visit favorite fishing holes, witness a cow moose with a newborn calf, pick blueberries for a midmorning snack, listen to the cry of the loon as the sun sets.

These are the rewards for wilderness travelers along the Gunflint Trail.

Every Canoe Outfitter offers expert help, a wealth of experience, friendly service, lightweight watercraft (canoes and kayaks), specialized canoe camping gear and food, and pre- and post-trip accommodations (including cabins and bunkhouses). Canoe outfitting makes planning a canoe trip easy, and taking a canoe trip an experience of a lifetime.

Get off the beaten path, into wild, quiet, sparsely traveled country, and paddle through the waters that gave passage to fur-trading Voyageurs and nomadic Native Americans. For a canoe trip of a completely different nature, visit the Boundary Waters or Quetico Provincial Park from an entry point off the Gunflint Trail. Let your Gunflint Trail canoe outfitter point the way and handle the details.
